SABR Awards

In the 1990s, SABR dramatically expanded its awards program and the recognition it provides for outstanding accomplishment in baseball research. Every year, writers and researchers add to our knowledge and understanding of baseball with quality scholarship in the form of books, articles and other media.

SABR's highest honor, the Bob Davids Award, was established in 1985 and is awarded to the member whose contributions to SABR and baseball reflect the ingenuity, integrity, and self-sacrifice of the founder and past president of SABR, L. Robert "Bob" Davids. The society's oldest honor, the SABR Salute, was awarded from 1976 to 2001.
